Letter to the editor: The definition of a hypocrite

If one were to look up the definition of hypocrite in the dictionary, I believe one would find a picture similar to that which appeared on A4 of Monday's Daily Commercial in conjunction with the article about Alabama Senate wannabe, Roy Moore.

There is an old saying that where there is smoke, there is fire. There is a great deal of smoke surrounding Mr. Moore, such as the number of women who have come forward with sexual predator allegations from when these ladies were teenagers. From my point of view, Mr. Moore is no more deserving of a seat in the U.S. Senate than any other sexual predator.

These so-called Evangelical Christian ministers who continue to support him are making their own Faustian deals with the devil by placing their political beliefs above the teachings of scripture and the words of Jesus himself.

If there were ever a more pronounced exhibition of hypocrisy in recent years, I am at loss to determine it.
